Once upon a time, there was a Queen who lived in a cottage with two little princesses (and the King, but he was at work at the time of the story).
The princesses were not inclined to nap that afternoon, so the Queen made them popcorn and they watched a movie of the Disney variety. When it was almost time to walk out the door to physical therapy, the oldest princess started to holler for her Momma Queen from the bathroom. The Queen walked into the bathroom to find unspeakable things that shall not be mentioned by said royalty that indicated an upset stomach of the sitting-on-the-toilet sort.
The Queen didn't want the baby Princess to miss her physical therapy appointment, and figured the... explosion... was a one-time ordeal... so she cleaned up and loaded the princesses into the chariot to go to therapy.
At this time, the oldest Princess, who is quite prone to dramatic story-telling, began to whine, "I don't want to go to therapyyyyyyy... my belly huuuuuuuuuuurts!" The Queen assured her that all would be fine, and she needed to just get through the next hour.
When a Princess is prone to drama... the Queen doesn't always believe the Princess.
But she should.
Because upon entering the therapy appointment, the Princess proceeded to empty the contents of her stomach... all over herself, the floor, the Queen, and anything else in sight. It was not at all princess-like... and there was all. kinds. of. drama. over that occurance.
The Queen had to leave the baby Princess with the therapist and drive the oldest Princess home to bathe her, tuck her into bed (with a trashcan nearby), and feed her ice chips while she listened to Taylor Swift on her CD player. The Queen Mother had to go fetch the baby Princess from the therapists' office.
Lesson learned: The Queen will not try to call the Princess' bluff when she declares that she is going to puke all over the place. Its most definitely true.
But never fear... Sprite, goldfish, and several Disney movies later... the Princess shall be just fine... and all will live happily ever after.

I love the story. Baby Princess missed her bed and her mommma though and did not want to sleep at Queen Mimi's house. So we watched Hallmark movies at 3 a.m. Are these princesses spoiled or what?
